Yesterday I documented the ASHER – Active Shooter/Hostile Event Response training at Medway High School. Intense training for local Police and Fire personnel hopefully for services they will never need to use. Our communities are safer for their efforts.

Today I documented an Active Shooter Training session held at Medway High School by Synergy. Synergy is a public safety experts team comprised of local officers including some from Medway. Medway Police and Fire were joined by other local town law enforcement for a full day of training and simulations. It was intense and amazing, working through scenarios throughout the school. The day ended with a full exercise from entering the building with an active shooter, to neutralizing the threat and removing students from the building. I have had experience with this type of training before but never at a school level. A school system I have been involved with and building my children graduated from or are still attending. To watch these dedicated women and men, many whom I know personally, take on this serious issue in hopes to never have to use the knowledge, makes me proud to be part of this community. Thank you to all involved at today’s event.
